the people is the potential factor in this
matter, but we protest against an effort
to blind the jury by the presentation Of
false issues or views colored by preju-
dice.
The matter has already been fully dis
cussed, and there is no reason for an ex-
preston of opinion now which would not
have been controlling months ago. when
the subject was opened by the famous
letter to the Florida Herald. In choos-
ing the same methods the Times Union
makes bubble on time which is entirely
without weight. And the bitter enemy
of Call will hardly find a reason for the
support Of BIoxham which will be salts

claimed that Senator Call is the constant
friend of monopOlists as against the peo-
pie, when he has done as much as any
man in Florida against the great cOrpO-
rations, in the interest of the people.
How dare any man abuse Call and sup
port Bloxham? Why not acknowledge
that the whole series of complaints is as
little matter for real charges against Call
as similar charges presented elsewhere
against Bloxham?

Fruit culture Is our most important

such partial instances that no
